4 months agoThe trail is a bit much for my 42 year old knees, but the punishment was worth the views. Going up is easier than coming down. There were 2 midget snowmen to greet me when I arrived at the top. I wore pants and a hoodie in late October, which was warm enough for me, just make sure you have some good hiking shoes/boots. A bit colder on top obviously, but that because of the wind. Don’t give up 1/2 way through either, the views are amazing. Also, try the lobster bisque!

4 months agoWe loved hiking this trail. We started at the visitors center and the climb isn't too steep but it's all uphill. There isn't a lot of shade and it can get really windy at the top. Took us about 2 hours to get up and 1.5 hours to get down. Would definitely recommend it if in the area!
